EPEA at the 14th CONGRESS BW for Resource Efficiency and Circular Economy

July 28, 2025

On October 22 and 23, 2025, the Stuttgart Liederhalle will host the 14th CONGRESS BW for resource efficiency and circular economy instead of. Representatives from industry, science and politics come together to discuss solutions for a resource-saving future.

EPEA — Part of Drees & Sommer is in this year Forum 2 | Start to Re-Think: Industrial Re-Use and Secondary Resource Centers for the Construction Industry represented. Our managing director Marcel Özer talks there together with Sebastian Geiger (Georg Reisch GmbH & Co. KG) and Jannik Hartlieb (DMU Consult) about pioneering concepts for reusing and recycling building materials. The forum is moderated by Dr. Anna Braune, Head of Research and Development at the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB e.V.).

The focus is on the question of how materials released through dismantling and refurbishment can be made usable in new material cycles. Industrial Re-Use makes it possible to reuse existing resources sensibly instead of disposing of them. Digital platforms connect supply and demand, temporary raw material centers facilitate the storage and reprocessing of building materials and thus offer new opportunities for manufacturers, project developers and municipalities.

These approaches create new business models that combine ecological responsibility with economic potential. At the same time, they strengthen regional supply security with building materials and make an active contribution to the decarbonization of the construction industry. Circular transformation starts right here — with the courage to rethink processes.
